Strengthening Organisations

This funding programme is specifically for organisations in Scotland that currently receive funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. It supports organisations to try out new ideas and ways of working, develop their organisation, and improve their current work. The programme offers grants ranging from £300 to £50,000 for projects lasting up to 2 years. Organisations can be of any size but must work with people affected by poverty, disadvantage, or discrimination, and involve the people they support in designing how they work. The funded organisations must meet at least one of two key outcomes: overcome challenges and plan for the future, or try out new ideas and ways of working. This funding does not support the staffing or delivery of existing services or the expansion of these services to new locations.
